          Article Summary

          The --chaos or --c parameter influences how varied the initial image grids are. High --chaos values will produce more unusual and unexpected results and compositions. Lower --chaos values have more reliable, repeatable results.

          --chaos accepts values 0–100.
          The default --chaos value is 0.

          The Influence of Chaos on Jobs

          No --chaos value

          Using a low --chaos value, or not specifying a value, will produce initial image grids that are similar each time a Job is run.

          prompt example: imagine/ prompt watermelon owl hybrid --c 0

          Low --chaos values

          Using a low --chaos value, or not specifying a value, will produce initial image grids that are slightly varied each time a Job is run.

          prompt example: imagine/ prompt watermelon owl hybrid --c 10

          Moderate --chaos values

          Using a low --chaos value, or not specifying a value, will produce initial image grids that are slightly varied each time a Job is run.

          prompt example: imagine/ prompt watermelon owl hybrid --c 25

          High --chaos Values

          Using a higher --chaos value will produce initial image grids that are more varied and unexpected each time a Job is run.

          prompt example: imagine/ prompt watermelon owl hybrid --c 50

          Very High --chaos Values

          Using extremely high --chaos values will produce initial image grids that are varied and have unexpected compositions or artistic mediums each time a Job is run.

          prompt example: imagine/ prompt watermelon owl hybrid --c 80

          How to Change the Chaos Value

          Use the --chaos or --c Parameter

          Add --chaos <value> or --c <value> to the end of your prompt.
